ChatGPT Prompt to Define a Positioning
Defining a clear and differentiating positioning is one of the most strategic steps for any company or brand. ChatGPT can support you in this reflection by structuring your competitive analysis, identifying your differentiation factors, and formulating a compelling value proposition. Thanks to its ability to synthesize large amounts of information and adopt different perspectives, the AI helps you explore angles you might not have considered alone. Whether you are launching a new product, repositioning an existing brand, or seeking to stand out in a saturated market, a well-built prompt turns ChatGPT into a true strategy consultant. The key is to provide enough context about your market, competitors, and target to obtain an actionable positioning, not just a generic formula. In this guide, you will find an optimized main prompt, variants according to your level of expertise, and answers to the most frequent questions to leverage ChatGPT's full potential in your strategic positioning approach.
Paste in your AI
Paste this prompt in ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini and customize the variables in brackets.
You are a senior brand strategy consultant with 20 years of experience. I want to define the positioning of [COMPANY_NAME/PRODUCT_NAME] in the [INDUSTRY_SECTOR] sector.
Context:
- Our offer: [describe your product/service in 2-3 sentences]
- Our primary target: [describe your ideal client]
- Our top 3 competitors: [list your competitors]
- Our distinctive strengths: [what differentiates you]
- Our budget/size: [startup, SME, large group]
Perform the following analysis in 5 steps:
- Competitive mapping: Position each competitor on the axes price/perceived value and innovation/tradition. Identify empty spaces.
- Analysis of differentiation factors: Evaluate my distinctive strengths according to their relevance to the target, their sustainability, and their credibility.
- Proposal of 3 possible positionings: For each, formulate a positioning statement using the model: "For [target], [brand] is the [category] that [key benefit] thanks to [reason to believe]."
- Decision matrix: Score each positioning on 5 criteria (differentiation, credibility, target relevance, growth potential, communication simplicity) out of 10.
- Final recommendation: Choose the best positioning and detail the activation plan in 3 pillars (key message, evidence to highlight, priority channels).

Frequently Asked Questions
What information should I prepare before using ChatGPT to define my positioning?
At minimum, prepare: a clear description of your offering (product or service), your ideal customer profile (age, needs, pain points), a list of 3-5 direct competitors with their perceived positioning, and your 2-3 key differentiating strengths. The more concrete context you provide (numbers, customer feedback, market share), the more relevant and actionable the proposed positioning will be. Avoid vague descriptions like “we’re innovative” — favor specific facts such as “our technology cuts processing time by 40%.”
How can I assess whether the positioning generated by ChatGPT is truly relevant?
Test the proposed positioning against three filters: differentiation (could a competitor claim the exact same thing?), credibility (do you have concrete proof to back up this promise?), and resonance (does your target audience see themselves in it?). You can also ask ChatGPT to play the role of a skeptical customer to stress-test each proposition. Finally, validate the result against real field feedback — AI structures the thinking, but the final validation comes from the market.
Can ChatGPT replace a strategy consultant for positioning?
ChatGPT excels at structuring thinking, generating alternatives, and methodically applying strategic frameworks. It’s especially useful as a first draft or for businesses that can’t afford a consulting firm. However, it doesn’t replace on-the-ground intuition, deep knowledge of a market’s relational dynamics, or qualitative customer interviews. The ideal approach is to use ChatGPT to accelerate and enrich your thinking, then validate with real data and customer feedback.
